Mans Insignidcanoe.
Somehow, when mans mind becomes
really engaged--say like that of Baron
Humboldt-and he is able to place in
focus more and more Of the cosmos Of
which he forms bart. the things he at

allowed utart Of some distance. The
sutton, aimilarly equipped, starts of in
chase. II he succeeds in overtaking her

near, round circle Of certain sizc is
formed, the damael is stripped Of all but
waistbsnd and given half the circle
start. and If she succeeds in running
three times around before her sutton
comes up with her shs IS entitled to re.
main virgin; II not she must consent TO
the bonds Of mstrimony. Al in the
other cases, but few outstrip their lovers.
